Leadership Workshop

Description

3 hour Workshop

Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way

Every time we turn around, someone is talking about Leadership. Lee Iacocca is asking, “Where have all the Leaders Gone?” Warren Bennis wrote a book “On Becoming a Leader.” What did they mean? Did we run out of leaders? Bennis also wrote, “Managing People is like Herding Cats.” Is managing people today really like herding cats? Does that mean bosses can’t tell employees what to do? If that is true, how do bosses get the job done? What is the difference between leading and managing? Is there a difference?

Ken Blanchard describes leadership in the May/June 2007 issue of Success Magazine, “I would like to get people to lead at a higher level. It should be a process of achieving worthwhile results while acting with respect, care, and fairness to the well-being of all involved.”

That sounds more like a mission statement rather than a description of leadership. “…to get people to lead at a higher level…”? What does he mean?

What do any of the leadership gurus (Lewin, Bennis, Nanus, Hersey, Blanchard, Johnson, Maxwell, Peters, Fiedler, Blake, Mouton, Likert, Yukl, etc ) mean when describing leadership?

Is it one of those things that is hard to describe, but we know it when we see it? There are many types of leadership too: visionary leadership, transformational leadership, situational leadership, contingency leadership, charismatic leadership, trait leadership, path-goal leadership, etc.

What do all these types of leadership mean? Are we supposed to know the differences? Which one should we use? Can anyone really tell us?

In this workshop, we will define leadership and explore its implications through the windows of perception, communication, persuasion, and public speaking. You will identify the traits important to you, and how you can implement these ideas into your personality, your department, and your organization. You will walk out of the workshop with an action plan and many resources to develop your leadership skills and the leadership skills of your people.

The best leaders can think on their feet and analyze situations to know when to lead, when to follow, and when to get out of the way.
